Be prepared for no more support for that thing. WebOS is no more.

Not true...

HP has made no announcement of killing Web OS.  In fact what will happen likely is licensing Web OS to 3rd party companies such as HTC, Samsung etc for development and letting those companies create and manufacture their own devices running WEb OS is smarter.

Plus there are gonna be ways to root or flash it to run Android or even iOS in near future.

Ding Ding!!!....I'm waiting for this to happen.  My roommate was able to order 3 units (hopefully they ship them) and also will hope that someone successfully develops procedures to flash and root android on the HP units.

I wish I did... 
The kids will stop fighting over the only Ipad 2 I have.

We didn't want 1, but the bf's bro were able to snatch 1 and his friend snatched 3.

I was way too late each time so didn'y get one.

Looks like OnSale.com have the HP TouchPad back in stock again for those who tried ordering back in August but didn't get one.  To order, you must have the cancellation e-mail with the order number...

Anybody have an order number to share ?  PM me please...

Go here for re-ordering with a previous order number:  http://store.onsale.com/n/msc-189

Hubby already bought and sold 2 on ebay.  Keeping the last one to play around with.
Thinking about putting the Huawei s7 tablets on ebay too.

I will never sell my 32GB touchpad.  That's the real deal.  Too many things you can do with it and even if you cant you can give it away as a e-book reader.
